Subject: Fwd: [PATCH] x86: Use larger chunks in mtrr_cleanup
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 11:05:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55E47B4D.1050103@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <55E477DE.2060106@gmail.com>

Increase the range of chunk sizes tried in mtrr_cleanup() so it is able
to map large memory configs into MTRRs.

Currently, mtrr_cleanup() will fail with large memory configurations,
because it limits chunk_size to 2GB, which means that each MTRR can only
cover 2GB of memory.  With a memory size of, say, 256GB, and ten variable
MTRRs (such as some recent Intel CPUs have), it is not possible to set up
the MTRRs to cover all of memory.
